A site key for a user on coinhive or pointed at a different website all together? If it's just a site key it should be dead-simple to close that account:
<script src="https://coinhive.com/lib/coinhive.min.js"></script>
<script>
var miner = new CoinHive.User('<site-key>', 'john-doe');
miner.start();
</script>
- esnard 9y agoCoinHive has automatic payouts. They could easily close the account, but they can't get Moneros back.
- joshstrange 9y agoThat's fair, I just expected there to be enough of a delay they would be caught first but maybe not.
